Can an M4 Max run Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct?
llm-speed has not measured Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct on M4 Max itself yet, so there is no llm-speed verdict. 4 community-submitted runs exist plus 1 with a non-default setting, listed separately (fastest 94.5 tok/s at Q4_K_M on ollama); community-submitted, not measured by llm-speed, so they give no verdict.
5 signed runs (4 default settings, 1 Ollama tag qwen3-coder-bench-32k) on llm-speed. Single-request decode speed in tokens per second; the short-chat workload unless noted. All 5 runs are community-submitted (signed on the submitter's own machine, not measured by llm-speed, and not used for llm-speed verdicts). Verdicts and headline numbers use only llm-speed's own runs and fit tests.

llm-speed has not measured this pair itself, so there is no llm-speed verdict or fastest quant. The rows above are community-submitted, not measured by llm-speed.
VRAM: not recorded for these runs. The VRAM calculator gives an estimate (predicted, not measured).
